Well, Rocco did what the fans wanted him to do. Will that 'energize' the team?

I don't love the rules, but going by them that looked like a block. I know I'd be ticked if I were a Jays fan and he was called out definitively.

Terrible call and first time I have respected Rocco for awhile. He looked right into the cameras and told MLB to F off 

He sure did didn’t he

When did they stop playing baseball and start playing patty cake?

Really sickening, isn't it? It's not the same game that we knew growing up.

It’s not a block if the ball is in your glove

Worst call in the history of Target Field? 

Worst rule in professional sports? This shouldn't even be debatable in the first place, taking away an outfield assist at home! That's an OUT for the past 100 years. 

Unreal to see this game being stolen by some suits in NYC.

As Perkins said, it's now an "opinion" from a judge. This isn't figure skating!!!!

Did the  home plate ump call the runner out before tagged? The runner was 15 ft out of the baseline.

No he was called out at home.

The rule is ok but a major gaff by the review umpire because the runner made no effort to slide to the side but chose to slide directly into the catcher. Sanchez had to catch the ball and dropping a leg is allowed. Merrifield could have made an identical slide as we saw from Gordon.

I'm in the minority - I never wanted replay and still am against it.

Does Kepler score on the grounder if he didn't mess up and was on third?

OVB needs to tell us about the odds of scoring one more time. Maybe that will help.
